Best places: Historical landmarks in Cork, Ireland

👍👍 A fantastic place to visit. So much to see and learn about. The guided tour is recommended but you can explore yourself with the Spike Island App. Make sure to confirm your return ferry time and don't be late 😉

👍👍 Great hiking trail! The forest is beautiful, the trees are decorated with moss, tall spruces and pines, intertwined roots that also twist around the trunks. A waterfall hidden in the depths and of course the towers, there is something magical in them. The walk is beautiful both on a sunny and cloudy...

👍👍 The Old Head of Kinsale is a magnificent place as it embodies the Wild Atlantic Way of Ireland. It's stunning cliffs reminds me of the Cliffs of Moher! It's a place of scenic beauty. It has a small museum.

👍👍 Beautiful location. Nice house. Tasty bite and coffee in the cafe.

👍👍 Calm and beautiful heart of the city You will find pubs, bars on the main road There is kayaking activities nearby towards the river as well

👍👍 Somehow we didn't know this place existed when planning our trip, so we felt like we'd made this awesome discovery when we spotted it on our drive. It's a beautiful place, and we can see they're doing work to preserve it from further ruin, thank goodness. There are a few signs giving history and con...

What we didn't like: -No decent wifi or cell signal, -kinda spooky rooms/halls after hearing about "Gladys" the guest...

👍👍 Bridgetown Priory dating back to the 13th century. Near Castletownroche, County Cork. A beautiful and peaceful place with so much history. Free to visit and no crowds. On the day of our visit there was nobody else around for the hour we spent here.

👍 Well looked after and set in a beautiful area.

😐 The house looked quite impressive, but unfortunately, we were not able to get very close. We wish we would have been able to get closer or even tour the inside since it is positioned as an attraction on-site.

👍 An amazing wedge tomb, but very run down and not really looked after. The fence is rusting away and broken, the area around the tomb is all weeds and rubbish. It's an awful shame as this monument is over 4000 years old. I only wish the OPW or local councils would look after there more. Parking is ri...

👍 Lovely easy walk, can bit a bit muddy depending on the time of year. Stunning view!

👍👍 Well worth a visit.lovely walks around the gardens.plenty of plant life.

👍👍 Fun quick stop right off the road. We just used the gate as a photo op. Didn't go in.
